From The A Team to the Home and Away team...

Yes, Ed Sheeran's making an appearance on the Australian soap.

The singer is touring down under right now and visited the Home and Away set this week to film some scenes for an episode that'll air later this year.

"He will appear as himself in the series," said a Channel 5 statement. "But storyline details about what brings Ed to Summer Bay are being kept under wraps for now."

Home and Away's Instagram account posted on Tuesday: "Yes we can confirm @teddysphotos (aka Ed Sheeran) was in #SummerBay today! Bet you can't wait to find out why..."

The singer has been snapped on set alongside actress Emily Symons, who plays Marilyn Chambers.

Now filming's over, Ed has gigs coming up in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

But it sounds like he's been working his voice pretty hard.

He's tweeted: "Been told by the vocal doc not to talk at all between shows and they're giving me a white board to communicate with, could prove interesting."
